[leak] Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 Tech alpha footage
- Thread starter Eroke

They're exploring VR support, so stay tuned. Hopefully they deliver.
Legitimately one of my most anticipated games.
I'm guessing that's intentional for obvious reasons.
You could be right, I'm not sure how it was in previous versions. But you'd think that you wouldn't be able to continue flying like nothing happened.
If Microsoft let you use a VR headset like the Quest with the XSX and support this game in Vr I'm 100% buying an XSX. It's as simple as that. Never buying a PC and certainly not a gaming one powerful enough to do this justice.
I hate seeing such high quality grounds in flight games, makes me want to exit the plane and explore such a huge map from that perspective
I've heard from certain unnamed people that this alpha smothers watermarks all over the screen to identify whoever's playing, mostly in the form of a giant name or email address or something. Either someone figured out how to break that, or this is an internal leak. That is all I have to say.
UPDATE: lol yep this footage has those too, good job dude, those NDAs do *not* fuck around

His alpha registration name flashes randomly across the screen quite often. Fool failed to hide himself at all.
feels weird to go into the thread for a genre you don't play, to announce you won't play the game.
From the dev blog. Made by insiders.
This looks incredible.
this game will be a data hog, though, to stream that world in that fidelity. Glad they say they'll let you download regions
Very very very disappointed with the first video :(
You can do whatever and not break your plane... go through the trees and buildings , no problem. Maybe the effect of a toggle in options to disable collisions though... i hope it is... or maybe "lazy physics on landing" toggle, to avoid people breaking their toys all the time.
I am not too sure about the flight envelopes, but we'll see... i hope it can be easily manipulated by mod/plugins makers.
The graphics are very nice though and if all the buttons and knobs do what they are supposed to do it will be very immersive.
That's the best thing i read in years...
I will spend 2-3 months downloading every area on my flight routes and be done with it :P
No worries if it fills up a few 13TB drives.

you'd think if you signed up to an alpha and opened the game and saw 4 watermarks of your user ID on screen at all times, you'd think twice about streaming it
i think it's more... they won't want to be known as a flying into building simulator.

Overall it looks good, with some graphical discrepancies here and there which isn't really a problem; since it's in alpha.
I've been really into HDR gaming lately though, and I cant wait until MS releases a video with HDR for it soon.

Maybe... Teros ruined everything :(
It was half the fun of flight sim 3... err... scrap that... for the sake of realism !
Nha but really, i feel like on a airliner, if you cannot takeoff after reaching V2 you'll still be able to stop and not destroy your plane when you go beyond the end of the roadway... it seems they have not progressed one bit on the simulator aspect of the thing... i guess it's because it makes for a game more fun and simpler and prevents including and requiring more extensive training time investment. Fly into rings and you are set...

Breaking NDA causes ban and blacklisting from any future testing: https://www.flightsimulator.com/guidelines-nda/
That's like going into a curling or cricket thread to announce you don't understand or like the game. I'm sure everyone was dying to know.
I wouldn't looks like a game pretty obviously, a Good looking game but a game none the less.
